PHPBB3 Plugin
This specialized plugin can connect an AVideo login to a phpBB3 forum. It changes authentication behavior across two applications and should be tested on copies before production use.
- Back up both databases and applications.
- Confirm the current AVideo plugin and phpBB versions are compatible.
- Use HTTPS and limit trust to the exact two sites.
- Decide how usernames, e-mail changes, disabled users and logout should behave.
The plugin description exposes an installer/helper command for the forum. Review the downloaded PHP file before executing it, use the exact trusted HTTPS AVideo URL, and never run a remote command copied from an untrusted site.
Does it merge existing accounts? Do not assume so. Test matching rules with duplicate username/e-mail cases.
Does an AVideo admin become a forum admin? It should not be assumed. Verify role mapping explicitly.
Can I remove it later? Keep independent recovery administrators in both systems and test disabling the integration before relying on it.
